Overall, Catching Fire is a bad movie that does have good special effects, but fails in every other arena. The ending is telegraphed from the start, so when it finally happens, you are left to roll your eyes and thank God it is over. The dialogue is cringe-inducing and falls flat nearly 100% of the time. Ultimately, this feels more like a bloody version of Gossip Girl than it does a truly engaging dystopian science fiction film, which I feel like is not the goal. ![]() ![]() Even worse though, it strands its actors in a hopeless wasteland of ineptitude that even the best actor would struggle to find success in. The film is an entirely grating experience featuring the weirdo hair designs of the first film. Before I go further, Liam Hemsworth is a horrifically bad actor. Equally as bad, this sequel features terrible acting, even worse writing, and a stupidly inane plot that shows Katniss rebelling against everyone she encounters and pouting for two and a half hours. The Hunger Games: Saving Peeta is a worthy sequel to a really awful first installment. Here is a sequel that lives up to the hype of the original.
